Fragments on a Friday Night

Better late than never, right?

It was another busy day here at Chez Nana … the Ts were here. We stopped at the grocery store for the Ts picked out donuts for breakfast. After breakfast, there was a little crankiness (5 y.o. T#3 is the epitome of a pesky little brother, and 8 y.o. T#2 lets him get under her skin). After a brief time out for those two, things settled down and the rest of the day went well. We had lunch at McDonalds, made a visit to the library, and wrapped up our time together at the YMCA (or YMC-Hay as T#4 calls it) for swim practice.

It’ll be another busy day tomorrow as I’ll be picking the Ts up at 7:30 to get them to swim practice at 8:00. If it’s warm enough, maybe we’ll stop at a park for some play time outside on our way back to Nana’s house.

It’s hard to believe that it’s the last day of November … and that it’s supposed to get into the upper 60’s on the first day of December. It’s just not right to have such warm weather in December. At least not here in Illinois.

I’ve tweaked a muscle in my back – about the middle of the back over on my right-hand side. Not enough to keep me from doing what needs to be done, but enough to be a pain (literally and figuratively). I’m not sure what I did … I don’t remember doing anything that should have made that muscle angry … hoping it eases up soon.

Today I’m thankful for:

Duplos – even the big kids love building with them

Ibuprofen – hopefully a dose at bedtime will help me get to sleep more quickly than I did last night – that achy muscle was just enough to keep me tossing and turning for a couple of hours after I went to bed last night

New neighbors – the new house behind us closed this afternoon

Pizza from the new pizza place down the road – quick and easy dinner this evening

I don't have grans but I do have my day care kids (that is nice to send home after a long day) and I do have tweaks in my back every now and then. Eastern PA is supposed to be in the 60s. We are taking advantage and getting our tree today.

No not a hurt back in December. Never is better but December is the worst. You are such a good grandma. All of the nice things you do.Well you do stay busy. We are almost having the same kind of weather, it is going to be 70 today even with the rain we aren't having. We have just had clouds while Northern California is getting washed away. Have a very nice weekend Kathy, I do hope your back gets better.

I'm Nana of 4 adorable Ts; Mom of a lovely woman who happens to be my BFF; wife of a sweet, sweet man; daughter of the Living King.
I love to quilt, spend time with my grandkids, read, watch Cardinals baseball and Blues hockey, bike, travel (especially to the beach).
